66m Steel: Project Avanti

Avanti

Exterior design

A true pocket rocket superyacht At 66 metres, Avanti is an awesome 1,200 GT yacht providing sumptuous accommodation for 12 guests. Winch Design is responsible for both the exterior and interior design of this muscular contemporary motor yacht.

Dynamic architecture emphasises the elegant sheer line, which connects the strong bow to an inviting transom. The stepped aft deck area harmonises interior and exterior living, creating easy access to the infinity edge pool and surrounding waters.

With loungers on two levels, and both exterior and interior dining for up to 12 guests, family living and relaxation are at the heart of Project Avanti.

Interior design

Heesen interiors As one of the few yacht builders to have an entire in-house department of interior specialists, Heesen guarantees consistent quality and custom design solutions that spark your imagination.

‘Heesen builds its yacht interiors entirely in-house, a service that differentiates the shipyard from others in the world and enables it to guarantee the quality it promises’

Avanti

Interior workshop The shipyard’s main interior workshop is situated in Winterswijk, just over an hour’s drive from Oss, and provides more than 8,100 square metres of working space. Here, a large group of craftsmen work on up to five Heesen projects at the same time. This is where all of the luxury areas – such as the atrium, saloon, dining, owner’s stateroom and guest suites – are created. At the shipyard in Oss, another 30 craftsmen work on the interiors of all the service areas and sky lounges.

Rather unusually in this industry, Heesen builds its yacht interiors entirely in-house, which requires every type of machinery and skill on location. ‘This is something that has evolved over the years and we are very proud of it,’ Henry Schreur, director of Heesen Interiors, explains, ‘because we have been responsible for many awardwinning yacht interiors.’ Schreur refers to the acclaimed My Sky, Galactica Star, Elena, Amore Mio and Galactica Super Nova.

This requires a lot of talent. It is one reason why Heesen invests heavily in the acquisition of young talent.

Mock-up The interior construction process consists of two phases. At first, the in-house interior department generates a four-square-metre mock-up of the proposed interior. This is a full-sized, fully finished interior fitted with handles, switches, lamps and even fabrics and flooring. If the owner agrees with the concept, the interior department then starts creating workshop drawings and sources all the materials, from the exotic to the everyday.

Exquisite materials Once completed, the interior reaches the second phase – the actual creation process, which starts at both atelier locations. The craftsmen work with some exclusive wood types, including teak, wengÊ, Macassar ebony, walnut, flamed maple, as well as stained and curved glass, ray and goat skin, 3D printed elements, marble, onyx and other minerals. There are no limits to what the in-house interior specialists can create: the challenge lies in processing the materials in the right way.

Perfect finish Naturally, raw materials such as bamboo, wood and leather differ from each other in their colour or texture. So to create uniformity, the interior specialists have to carefully treat each piece of wood by bleaching or staining, or colour the animal skin. As well as the material challenge of ensuring every piece looks exactly like its proposed design, weight, dimensions and time are other constraining factors for the craftsman involved. However, even with lastminute changes, these professionals never take short cuts and always ensure that they install everything with a perfect finish.

Company

Handcrafted

by Heesen Building a yacht is probably one of the most complex processes you can undertake. Few products involve more skills and technology.

And in this high-tech era of robots and fully automated production, a Heesen yacht is still largely crafted by hand.

Heesen‘s modern Oss shipyard builds from 40 to 83 metres, all on site

The design comes to life The backbone of each Heesen yacht is a hull welded to perfection. It is always a magical moment when the first contours of the hull appear and the yacht’s design comes to life. Heesen uses aluminium – which requires highly skilled and experienced welders – and steel to construct. In 2016, the shipyard used approximately 265 tonnes of aluminium and approximately 475 tonnes of steel to build 4 yachts – 2 steel and 2 aluminium hulls.

Avanti

25

A perfect finish Several layers of epoxy primer are applied to the aluminium and steel surfaces of the yacht, giving the hull and superstructure a smooth finish and a perfect basis for the paintwork. It takes a trained eye and skilful hands to apply each layer of coating and paint with exactly the right thickness.

26

Avanti

The marriage The definitive shape of the yacht is determined by another key moment in the building process: the marriage, when the hull and superstructure are joined. It is all about perfect timing and precision when the crane operator lowers the superstructure onto the hull.

Interior assembly All of the interior components are created in the wood shops in Oss and Winterswijk and are then assembled and finished on the yacht itself, which requires many different skills for a perfect result.

After Sales & Yacht Services With an ever-expanding fleet of superyachts cruising the world, it was natural to broaden the scope of services and launch a comprehensive programme called ‘Yacht Services by Heesen’ alongside the shipyard’s existing After Sales programme. The inhouse programme consists of three pillars to enhance the overall owners’ experience and improve the operational reliability of their assets.

throughout her entire lifespan. From the instant our skilled team of workers finish building the yacht, she is placed in the caring hands of our After Sales team, who put her to the test in a sea trial and make sure everything works exactly as it should. And from that moment on, our After Sales experts keep watching over the yacht, ensuring she stays in peak condition.

On top of this, Heesen proactively reaches out to all

Original Spare Parts & Provisioning We ensure operational reliability and avoid a delayed or cancelled cruise due to technical failures by offering original components at all times. To be able to offer this, the shipyard maintains excellent relations with all equipment suppliers to make sure that high-quality, warrantyprotected and competitively priced parts arrive on time.

Refit This pillar was introduced to ensure that Heesen’s Dutch quality standards can be maintained throughout the lifecycle of a yacht. Owners sometimes have to fall back on local shipyards and subcontractors when maintenance and repair work is required, This is why Heesen provides managerial assistance on necessary refit, repair and renewal work, either from a distance or on location. A flying squad of technicians is ready to travel at a moment’s notice to any location in the world.

34

Customer Support & After Sales This department consists of a warranty and customer support team. Heesen’s warranty team looks after all claims and warranty. Usually, warranty staff get involved a few months before delivery to make sure all parts are in excellent shape when the warranty period begins. Customer Support, on the other hand, provides general 24/7 support to any Heesen client in need, including on location with our flying squad.

More recently, the shipyard launched a new service: the annual survey. This thorough periodical check ensures that yachts are signed off every quarter during the warranty period and annually thereafter. This is a mutually beneficial check, guarding the operational reliability as well as our brand image. This shift from reactive towards preventive and eventually predictive maintenance support means an impressive leap forward in customer service for all Heesen owners.
